Pastors have long tried to lure them back to the fold. Now they're tacking a different tack.
They are now collectively called the "de-churched," explained Donnie Sills, pastor of West Weaver Baptist Church.
"It's a whole new idea," Sills said. "The de-churched are those who have a religious memory, who have a Christian heritage. It's those people who grew up in the church but for whatever reason walked away."
The "de-churched" are one of the targets in the campaign that has declared Sept. 16 National Back to Church Sunday.
According to its website (BackToChurch.com), more than 14,000 congregations are expected to participate in National Back to Church Sunday, which began in 2009. Among those are at least 13 local congregations including Grace Fellowship, Harvest Church of God, Hope Community Church in Jacksonville, Victory Baptist Church in Ohatchee, Piedmont Church of God and West Weaver Baptist Church.
This is West Weaver Baptist's first year to join Back to Church Sunday. Sills ran across a reference to the campaign in a magazine, thought it sounded interesting and passed it on to his staff.
"It was very strategically planned," Sills said. "With it being Sept. 16, Labor Day has passed, summer's pretty much over and people are getting back into their old routines … and with getting them to think about coming back to church, we're hoping to get them starting some new routines and habits."
Church attendance in Alabama
The logical question is: This is the South — the Bible Belt — just how necessary is a campaign to get people back to church?
In Alabama, 74 percent of people say "religion is very important in their lives," ranking Alabama second in a 50-state poll conducted by the Pew Forum on Religion in Public Life. Mississippi was first with 82 percent.
Yet when it came to attendance in worship service, Alabama ranked fifth with 52 percent. Mississippi, with 60 percent, remained first, according the same poll.
Attracting those de-churched masses back into the pews is a challenge that will exist long after the fervor of Back to Church Sunday, Sills said.
"It takes a lot of strategy, a lot of work, but mostly it comes down to blood, sweat and tears," he said. "And it never ends. Showing people how much better their lives could be if they choose to walk with Christ is every pastor's job."
A study by LifeWay Research, which, along with Outreach Inc., is a major sponsor of the campaign, found that of the more than 15,000 Americans polled, 67 percent say that a personal invitation from a family member would be effective in getting them to visit a church. In the same study, 63 percent said an invitation from a friend or neighbor would likely move them to respond.
National Back to Church Sunday also has a splash of star power in Bethany Hamilton, the champion surfer whose life story becomes the inspiration for the movie "Soul Surfer." Hamilton has long credited her faith for giving her strength to return to surfing after losing an arm in a shark attack.
Churches need to band together
For Sills and the congregation of West Weaver Baptist, however, there wasn't much lure in being part of a national campaign. Rather, Back to Church Sunday serves as a reminder for how churches have grown apart, distancing themselves from one another while often fighting over the same people. This event offers the opportunity for congregational harmony.
"It's the right time," Sills said. "It's a time for churches, especially evangelical churches, to band together in order to have a greater impact on people's lives than they ever could just working alone.
"Churches have been doing too little of that."
At West Weaver Baptist, Sunday's sermon will be "amped up," said Sills. The message will come from Psalm 34:8: "Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him," which Sills considers to be an a "really upbeat invitation" to experience the love of Christ.
Sills said the choir has been putting in extra hours of practice so that the music will meet the tempo of the service.
Yet despite the promise of fresh faces in the audience, Sills isn't putting too much pressure on himself.
"I definitely want to get this one right," Sills said. "But standing in the pulpit and proclaiming the love of God is something I always take seriously, no matter what else is going on that Sunday, because you never know who out there might be giving God one last chance."

Who's On The Wall: Soldier's childhood friendships lasts through time and war9:50 am | September 25, 2012
Elmer Carter, Earl Lewis and Bill Sellers had a relationship that started as a childhood friendship among three boys and weathered the test of time and the challenges of war.
The trio grew up in the Cat Island community of Elizabethton. They went to school together and joined the military within a short time of each other. Of the group, Carter is the only survivor. Lewis was killed during the Korean War and Sellers died Dec. 16, 2011. Carter, who is now 85 years old, said that as children the three were always together.
"We just played around like three little boys do," he said. "We went to school together in elementary school. None of us went to high school."

Stitched Pup
Binds when picked up
Use: Teaches you how to summon this companion.
Adding a recent update that this pet does still drop from Gluth. I haven't had time to level him yet but I have faced him in PVP. He does very well in regards to damage output.
Awwww. Poor oozy baby.
Was doing naxx with my mom, sister, and friend and this lil cutie dropped
Highest roller <3 :D
I've soloed Naxx to get all 3 pets with my warlock. For this pet, I had to do more damage than what he'd heal when consuming corpses. I used my void to tank and focused on doing as much damage as possible. Gotta blow him up fast.
Not pet talk, but drop talk. I did Naxx once with my friend, nothing dropped. Tried to solo this guy on my second run, just couldn't do it. Even as a Blood DK. :( I eventually got tired of the stalemate and just popped all my minions and hearthed. Ill go back to Duoing and kill this puppy until he drops our pet. :) So remember bring a battle buddy for this guy.
Got him on my first kill :D Told my hubby i got him and he thought the pup would be cute and then he saw him. lol
Duoed with my hubby, this pet dropped and I was excited. Then I brought him out and he's dripping blood. I put him away, and he'll probably stay away :(
His slot 3 ability is a cannibalize-like heal (Consume Corpse) which requires that you have a dead teammate to feed on. If you try to use this without anyone on your team dead, it will just Miss. You can replace it at level 20 or use him as a secondary or third line pet as an alternative.
3 friends goofing around ran MC, BWL, and Naxx, This is the only guy that dropped. We easily soloed everything and achievment runned all 10m naxx
I can finally order Gluth around!! He was my hunter's main nemesis in NAXX raids..."hunter kite those infinite number of adds" BLAH! :) The pet is awesome!
My bear-tank friend ran my holy priest through Naxx, and this pet plus the spider pet dropped for me! I think this one is my new favorite!
Also, I ran MC, BWL, and Naxx and got 5 pets total. None from MC :( Going to do AQ tonight!
Just got mine MM Hunter, couldn't solo last boss tho :-(
So w/ 5.1 dropping, being lvl 90, raids being nerfed to be "soloable" and not needing groups to get in, I was super excited when I started. Then reality set in. I did Naxx, and as a priest couldnt solo Pathwerk so I had to get help just to get to Gluth, Spider was ok on 10m and Loatheb did on 25m for an achieve. So there are huge variances in difficulty, oh and 0-3 pets in here. For the day 0-4 w/ 2 bosses not being soloable. Ah, fun times pet farming...

Blood pressure is measured with an inflatable arm cuff and a pressure-measuring gauge. A blood pressure reading, given in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg), has two numbers. The first, or upper, number measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats (systolic pressure). The second, or lower, number measures the pressure in your arteries between beats (diastolic pressure).
Blood pressure measurements fall into four general categories:
Both numbers in a blood pressure reading are important. But after age 50, the systolic reading is even more significant. Isolated systolic hypertension — when diastolic pressure is normal but systolic pressure is high — is the most common type of high blood pressure among people older than 50.
Your doctor will likely take two to three blood pressure readings each at two or more separate appointments before diagnosing you with high blood pressure. This is because blood pressure normally varies throughout the day — and sometimes specifically during visits to the doctor, a condition called white-coat hypertension. Your doctor may ask you to record your blood pressure at home and at work to provide additional information.
If you have any type of high blood pressure, your doctor may recommend routine tests, such as a urine test (urinalysis), blood tests and an electrocardiogram (ECG) — a test that measures your heart's electrical activity. Your doctor may also recommend additional tests, such as a cholesterol test, to check for more signs of heart disease.
An important way to check if your blood pressure treatment is working, or to diagnose worsening high blood pressure, is to monitor your blood pressure at home. Home blood pressure monitors are widely available, and you don't need a prescription to buy one. Talk to your doctor about how to get started.

During its regular meeting Monday, the RMC board discussed the Piedmont urgent care center, which RMC opened Monday. The board also discussed the Anniston hospital's Roanoke health care center, which is scheduled to open at the end of the month, David McCormack, CEO of RMC, said after the meeting. The two clinics are part of RMC's ongoing efforts to expand its reach and provide more services to the surrounding rural areas while increasing revenue through higher patient counts.
Both clinics have been under construction for several months. McCormack said RMC hired a physician just for the Piedmont clinic, which features a small emergency room to provide treatment for minor injuries.
"It will help keep people from having to go farther out to a hospital emergency room," McCormack said. "We're trying to go out to the community and bring services to them."
According to the Health Resources and Services Administration, 55 of Alabama's 67 counties, including Calhoun County, are considered rural and 44.4 percent of the state's population live in rural areas, which are typically underserved in regard to healthcare. The administration's statistics show that 61 of Alabama's 67 counties, including Calhoun, are short of primary care physicians.
McCormack said the Roanoke facility will be more sophisticated than the clinic in Piedmont and feature body scanning and imaging equipment. RMC hired two physicians and four nurse practitioners to work at the Roanoke facility, McCormack said.
The Roanoke facility will replace another health care center there, which RMC purchased in 2011, saving it from closing. Rural health clinics tend to treat more poor and elderly patients in underserved areas.
The previous operators of the old Roanoke clinic had to file bankruptcy after the Randolph Medical Center closed in April 2011.
"People out there are about an hour from any hospital," "McCormack said. "We'll be the main source of care for that whole community."
Greg Kernion, chairman of the RMC board, said construction of the Roanoke facility has come along nicely.
"The sign looks awesome and the building looks great," Kernion said.
In other business, the board approved the ability to hire a second attorney if needed.
"It would be a new attorney to help on human resources issues," McCormack said. "If we want to add a new one, say the other attorney isn't available, we can if we need one."

Typically served boiled as corned beef's longtime companion or raw in coleslaw, this cruciferous vegetable can be a healthful
addition to many dishes.
Season: Year-round.
How to Choose Cabbage
With green or red cabbage, look for tightly packed, crisp, shiny leaves the brighter the color, the fresher the cabbage. With Savoy cabbage, whose mellower flavor is prized for cooked dishes, look for a head with loose, lacelike green leaves that are crisp and free of brown spots. With even mellower football-shaped Napa cabbage, which has thick-veined, crinkled, cream-colored leaves and light green tips, look for firm, tight heads and crisp leaves.
How to Store Cabbage
Red and green cabbage can be kept tightly wrapped in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks; Savoy and Napa, up to a week.
How to Prepare Cabbage
To avoid releasing an overpowering smell, don't overcook cabbage. If you're shredding common cabbage for raw salads, remove the tough outer leaves, cut the cabbage into quarters, cut away the core, and slice or shred crosswise. To soften for a slaw, salt the shredded cabbage and soak it in ice water for up to an hour.
How to Use Cabbage
Like regular cabbage, Napa, with its slight peppery taste, can be eaten raw, braised, or sautéed and is good in stir-fries. Savoy turns bright green when lightly cooked, making an attractive side dish.
Real Simple Cabbage Recipes:
- Soba Salad With Chicken and Cabbage
- Autumn Cabbage Slaw
- Shrimp Tacos With Citrus Cabbage Slaw
- Hoisin-Glazed Chicken With Cabbage Slaw
- Sausage With Cabbage and Corn Sauté

ICC Finds Congolese Rebel Katanga Guilty in Third Judgment
Germain Katanga, a Congolese rebel leader, was today found guilty at the ICC of war crimes and crimes against humanity during an attack on a village in the DRC in 2003. He was acquitted however of charges of sexual slavery and rape as well as using child soldiers. "While the brutal attack on Bogoro village is but one of a growing list of grave crimes in eastern DRC, this verdict is a victory for victims and their families and sends a message to the perpetrators that they will be held to account. Victims may now be in line for reparations and redress to help rebuild their lives, a defining feature of the ICC system," said Coalition Convener William R. Pace. "However it is concerning that those responsible for the crimes of rape and using child soldiers, which continue to blight the region, have yet to be brought to justice. The Court must now increase its outreach to explain to victims and affected communities what has happened." Read civil society reactions in our press release.

Star Apps: 'Inside Llewyn Davis' cast
Fictional folk singer Llewyn Davis is having a really bad patch. He got his good friend's wife knocked up (pre-Roe v. Wade), he got knocked out by a stranger in a back alley, his manager dropped him, and he lost his home and his friend's cat -- all in the same week. When all else fails for him in 1961 Greenwich Village, the troubled troubadour of the Coen brothers' "Inside Llewyn Davis," convincingly played by Oscar Isaac ("Drive"), piggybacks on a road trip to Chicago to audition for a music mogul.

Tom is at work on a book, "Thucydides' Oblique Self-Definitions," which argues that certain portions of Thucydides' history that are thematically, stylistically or methodologically anomalous owe their idiosyncrasies to their status as loci of self-definition. These passages find Thucydides negotiating his place within his cultural and intellectual context, by variously employing, reworking, recontextualizing, and even parodying the methods, themes and styles of his predecessors and contemporaries.
Tom is also working on a Reader's Guide to accompany the iPad release of Eric Shanower's Eisner Awardwinning "Age of Bronze," a graphic novel of the Trojan War. The project finds him writing broadly on Bronze Age archaeology, Hittite art and culture, and literary traditions of the Trojan War from the 8th century BCE to the 21st century CE.
Tom teaches first-year Greek and second-year Latin, as well as courses in translation. During the 2013-2014 academic year, he is teaching a new course, Violence in Classical Literature and Modern Cinema, which explores representations of violence in ancient epic and drama and compares them to landmark depictions of violence in American film.

Just like members of the unbeaten 1972 Miami Dolphins uncorking a bottle of champagne when the last unbeaten team in the NFL loses each year, Steve Spurrier likes to crack open a can of beer when the last winless team in the NFL actually records a victory.
Spurrier, before he was an iconic head coach, spent his final season as an NFL player quarterbacking the historically bad and winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers of 1976.
"I've always been kind of big on being a part of records, if I can, and certainly that one's not much to brag about," Spurrier once told the Sentinel. "But sometimes you need some bad things in life to appreciate the good things. Some records should never be broken."
Sadly, for Spurrier and his '76 Tampa Bay Bucs teammates, they may soon have to relinquish their title as "The Worst NFL Team in History" to the 2013 Jacksonville Jaguars.
"I'd love to play them," says Richard "Batman" Wood, a linebacker on the '76 Bucs and now a high school coach in Tampa. "I know we'd give them a run for their money."
Lee McGriff, wide receiver on the '76 Bucs who is now the radio color analyst for the Florida Gators, takes it a step further. "I'm obviously biased, but I think we'd beat them," McGriff said. "My recollection is that we were competitive and close to winning a few games, which isn't the case in Jacksonville right now."
The Bucs, of course, were never a 28-point underdog as the Savannah State, er, Jacksonville Jaguars will be Sunday when they face Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos. It is the highest point spread since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970 and indicative of what the Jaguars have become. They are now the pro football version of the college homecoming opponent.
How bad are the pitiful Jags when compared to the powerhouse Broncos? The Broncos scored 51 points in their last game against the Dallas Cowboys; the Jags have scored a total of 51 points all season.
Even though the Detroit Lions of 2007 also finished with winless (0-16) record, the 0-14 Bucs of 1976 are commonly recognized as the fool's gold standard for NFL ineptitude. The '76 Bucs played a much weaker schedule than the 2007 Lions, but lost by an average of 5 points-per-game more. Tampa Bay didn't score a point until its third game of the '76 season and didn't score a touchdown until its fourth.
The "Yuckaneers" became perennial punch lines and were regularly lampooned by Johnny Carson on the Tonight Show. Their own coach, John McKay, was asked once about his offense's execution, and he replied: "I'm all for it."
The '76 Bucs were bad, but the Jags are on pace to be even worse. The Bucs were outscored 412-125 (average margin of defeat 20.5 points) while the Jags so far have been outscored 163-51 (average margin of defeat 22.4 points.). The '76 Bucs were last in the league in total offense and points scored; the 2013 Jags are last in total offense and 31st in total points (ahead of Tampa Bay, which has played only four games).
But the Bucs, at least, had an excuse. They were in their first-year of existence and had to build their team with waiver-wire rejects and aging castoffs whom other teams made available in the expansion draft. Because of the futility of the expansion Bucs, subsequent expansion teams (like the 1995 Jaguars) were given extra draft picks and a more generous allotment of quality players to choose from in the expansion draft.
With all of the parity and free agency in today's NFL, there's no good reason why any team should be as terrible as the Jaguars. But as inept as they are, they can take comfort in knowing that some NFL fans are still rooting for them.
Namely, the 1976 Bucs.
Steve Spurrier might just open up a beer if the Jags win a game this year.
Richard "Batman" Wood opens up his heart.
"I feel for those guys on Jaguars," Wood says. "I'm cheering for them because I don't want anybody to have to go through what we had to go through. Nobody likes to be known as the ultimate losers."

Title: Cross-domain data theft via script redirect error message
Impact: High
Announced: December 16, 2008
Reporter: Chris Evans
Products: Firefox, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey
Fixed in: Firefox 3.0.5
Firefox 22.214.171.124, 18.104.22.168
Thunderbird 18.104.22.168
SeaMonkey 1.1.14
Google security researcher Chris Evans reported that a
website could access a limited amount of data from a different domain by
loading a same-domain JavaScript URL which redirects to an off-domain
target resource containing data
which is not parsable as JavaScript. Upon attempting to load the data as
JavaScript a syntax error is generated that can reveal some of the file
context via the
window.onerror DOM API.
This issue could be used by a malicious website to steal private data from users who are authenticated on the redirected website. How much data could be at risk would depend on the format of the data and how the JavaScript parser attempts to interpret it. For most files the amount of data that can be recovered would be limited to the first word or two. Some data files might allow deeper probing with repeated loads.
Update December 18, 2008: The Windows version of Firefox 188.8.131.52 was shipped without the fix for this issue (other platforms were correctly patched). Firefox 188.8.131.52 has been released on Windows to correct this oversight.

Combine the first 8 ingredients in a small bowl to make the seasoning mix. Sprinkle each fillet with ½ to ¾ teaspoon of the seasoning mix per side, depending upon the size of the fillet.

Heat the oil in a large skillet to 350°. Dredge the seasoned fish fillets in the flour mixture, then in the yogurt-egg mixture, then back in the flour mixture, being sure to coat the fish completely and evenly. Immediately transfer the fish to the hot oil and cook, turning often with a spatula, until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.

TRAVIS COUNTY -- A look at the Pedernales from the Highway 71 bridge shows the river's struggles, courtesy of the ongoing drought. There is a little water - but that's it.
"It's depressing. 'Cause after it rains, you look to see if the river's flowing a little bit, 'cause you gotta start somewhere. It just got lower and lower and lower, and it's not there," said Shana Hunter, who lives near the Pedernales.
The nearly-dry river is also impacting home sales. Hunter recalled working for someone who put his home on the market. "They had to take like $125,000 cheaper, because they wanted to sell, and because of the river. They have a boat dock, and really, it was on sale for $500,000, and they took $295 (thousand) for it," she said.
Vik Vad, a realtor with Cantera Real estate, said Austin is a seller's market , but lakefront homes are becoming difficult to sell. "It's been about two years now since we've had this drought, and they ask 'When will this lake come back?' And we're confident that it will eventually, but it's tough to convey that to buyers sometimes," he explained.
Hunter is hopeful the river will eventually fill up, but said, "Any little head start we get…it's gonna take some time though. We need a good hurricane season."
Like the Pedernales, Lake Travis has its problems with the drought. Clay Gourley is the project manager for The Reserve at Lake Travis, a resort community. "Everybody's asking, 'when we gonna get water in the lake? You know, we need some rain,'" he said.
Nonetheless, Gourley is still optimistic. "I've been on this lake for almost 50 years. It's coming. We're gonna get a flood one day. We're gonna be fine. We will."
For realtors like Vad and people along the Pedernales, many of their problems would go away, if we could just get rain - and lots of it.

The Pew Charitable Trusts is driven by the power of knowledge to solve today's most challenging problems. Pew applies a rigorous, analytical approach to improve public policy, inform the public and stimulate civic life.
Apr 12, 2013
As April 15 approaches, a majority of Americans (56%) have a negative reaction to doing their income taxes, with 26% saying they hate doing them. However, about a third (34%) say they either like (29%) or love (5%) doing their taxes.
The national survey by the Pew Research Center, conducted April 4-7 among 1,003 adults, finds that the expectation of getting a refund is cited most often for why people like doing their taxes, but it is not the only factor.
When asked why they like doing their income taxes, 29% say that they are getting a refund, while 17% say they just don't mind it or they are good at it; 13% say doing their taxes gives them a sense of control, while the same percentage cites a feeling of obligation – that it is their duty to pay their fair share.
Read the full report, "A Third of Americans Say They Like Doing Their Income Taxes," at the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press website.

He was a writer and theologian and succeeded Calvin in Geneva.
|A humanist and disciple of Calvin
Theodore de Bèze was born in Vézelay, in Burgundy in 1519. He studied law and literature in Orleans and Paris. He was keenly interested by the ideas of the Reformation and began a brilliant career as a writer. A serious illness brings about his conversion to the Reformation in 1548.
He was forced into exile. He first taught Greek in Lausanne and then became professor of theology and pastor in Geneva. He became the first rector of the Academy recently founded by Calvin in Geneva in 1559.
During the first war of religion, he was chaplain of Condé's army. He headed the Protestant delegation to the Poissy conference in 1561. He chaired the synod in La Rochelle in 1571, during which the Confession of faith of the French Reformed Churches was adopted.
Back in Geneva in 1563, he succeeded Calvin as head of the Church of Geneva, faithfully carried on the latter's work and replaced him as the intellectual and ecclesiastical leader of the international Reformed movement.
|A man of letters
In 1550, he wrote a biblical tragedy Abraham sacrifiant. This is probably his most accomplished literary work, artfully combining the humanist legacy and Christian conscience.
The Confession de la foi chrétienne, first published in French in 1559 and in Latin in 1560, is a synopsis of Reformed doctrine.
In 1561, Théodore de Bèze pursued the work begun by Clément Marot : a translation of the Psalms into French verse ; these were later set to music in the Geneva Psalter.
Du droit des magistrats sur leurs sujets is one among several works written by Protestant authors following the Saint Bartholomew's day massacre and legitimizing a constitutional resistance to a government become tyrannical. With this work, Théodore de Bèze adhered to the "monarchomaques".
His Correspondence is extensive. He exchanged letters with theologians, politicians and writers from everywhere in Europe.

Strong Teeth. I've always found that Irwin's Marathon saw blades offer a good combination of value and performance. The company's newest version — with what the maker calls WeldTec welded teeth — purportedly provides even greater durability and a 30 percent stronger tooth bond. The teeth are made from UC2 carbide, which the maker says is 70 percent more durable than the carbide on most framing blades. The blades sell for about $12 each. Irwin, 800/464-7946. www.irwin.com

D300 teachers union approves new contract
By Emily McFarlan Miller firstname.lastname@example.com December 19, 2012 7:26PM
Updated: January 21, 2013 3:51PM
ALGONQUIN — Teachers in Community Unit School District 300 have ratified the three-year contract that the teachers union and District 300 Board of Education had reached after a one-day teachers strike earlier this month.
That brief announcement came about 8 p.m. Wednesday from Mike Williamson, spokesman for Local Education Association of District 300, following balloting by teachers that took place throughout the day Wednesday.
Williamson said he was unsure what the actual tally of the vote had been. But he said LEAD and the school board would issue a joint statement about the contract after the board's vote on it Thursday night.
At 5 p.m. Wednesday, the union spokesman was carrying a stack of ballots to Westfield Community School, he said. Those ballots still were coming in at that hour after the 1,200 members of the teachers union had voted all day in their buildings on the tentative agreement.
The teachers union and school board had reached an agreement on class sizes and teacher salary — two sticking points in negotiations — just before 9 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 4.
The agreement came after teachers had walked out that morning at 26 schools in the sixth-largest district in Illinois.
In the biggest demonstration that day, about 900 teachers had marched outside the District 300 Central Offices and several schools, chanting and carrying signs, and wearing black "We LEAD 300" T-shirts.
After coming to an agreement on the two points of contention, both sides called off the strike, then continued discussions into early the next morning and again that Friday to work out the remainder of the language, Williamson said at the time.
That process went back and forth by email all last week, Williamson has said.
Both LEAD and the board of education have agreed not to share details of that contract until after it has been voted on by both the union and board.
The school board has scheduled a special meeting to vote on the LEAD contract at 7 p.m. Thursday at the Professional Development Center at Westfield, 2100 Sleepy Hollow Road.
The school board also is to vote on compensation and benefits for the superintendent, administrators and non-union employees at that meeting.

A great place to watch the game and munch on bar grub. – The Scene
 Their bar can get crowded, so be sure to snag a seat early. Enjoy everything from simple appetizers to a full meal and a frosty mug of your favorite brew. Besides your standard Budweiser-type beers, they're fortunate enough to feature Guinness.

 The Food
 A sports bar with Irish overtones, they offer your standard variety of pub grub, including nachos, poppers, soups, salads and hearty sandwiches that come with a generous supply of fries. TVs are scattered throughout the establishment, making this a fine spot to catch any game.
Beff o' CRAPPY's – Food is horrible, I suggest if you must eat there then bring some Pepto Bismol for the ride home (ie; mushy snadwiches, cold fries, watered down beer, hot sodas, etc..). Place is also packed with bulbous-nosed, pot-bellied obnoxious Patriot fans with is also a big minus.
The Worst – Myself and some people from work went to Beef O'Brady's in Clearwater for lunch one day. The food was tasteless. The service was by far the worst of any place I have been. When you contact the main office about it you never hear back so they obviously do not care. My advice is stay away from Beef O'Brady's.
good beefs – Beef O' Brady's in South Tampa offers some of the best wings around. The wait staff is freindly, however, not always the best ( usually good looking though). Go and check it out.
friendly watresses small town attitute – great food, little smoke and friendly waitresses plenty of tvs to watch and a small town feel that cheers would love to have
friendly – Great servers! Friendly atmosphere. Great wings with the best Hot sauce around....

Franklin Park police are warning residents after a series of daylight burglaries.
According to the police department website, there have been four break-ins since Nov. 12. All of them occurred during the day.
- Dec. 1 McAleer Road near Mt. Nebo Road
- Dec. 1 McDevitt Road near McAleer Road
- Nov. 24 Wexford Bayne Road near Rochester Road
- Nov. 12 Brandt School Road near Corporate Drive
Click here for an interactive map show the approximate locations of the break-ins.
In the most recent burglary on McAleer Road near Mt. Nebo road, police said a family returning from vacation found thousands of dollars of jewelry missing.
"For anyone it's traumatic when their home is broken into," Franklin Park Police Chief Don Dorsch told WPXI-TV. "They're getting in quickly by forcibly entering the homes. They're going after mainly jewelry."
Dorsch said the break-ins are all random and have all occurred not far from the interstate.
"They're taking personal items, sometime heirlooms, a thing that can't be replaced, that's the tragedy," Dorsch told WPXI.
Homeowners are urged to lock doors and windows, and call 911 immediately if they see suspicious activity.

Plant Sciences Research and Education Pipeline
Page Content
Plant Sciences Overview
Dramatic advances in plant-based agriculture will be absolutely essential if the world is to feed the 9 billion people projected to inhabit our planet by 2050. Our world will need plants that deliver higher yield, are more nutritious, use water and nutrients more efficiently, and can tolerate more variation in the environment. Cutting edge advances in plant biology, genomics and epigenetics will permit plant scientists to develop new and novel ways to deliver needed traits.
Our mission is to propel the Purdue plant sciences program to a global leadership position by building a unique plant science research and education pipeline consisting of four core components outlined below.
Research and Education Pipeline
Center for Molecular Agriculture
Investments in fundamental research will allow us to develop the technology to customize plants to meet emerging needs both locally and across the globe. Relevant technologies are quickly developing and we are well placed to be the academic world leader in adapting this technology to plant sciences.
Plant Transformation Facility
Development of a transformation lab will bridge the gap between identification of valuable genes and their commercialization. In this facility, genes of potential value identified in crop and non-crop model systems will be inserted in native or modified form into agronomic and horticultural crops to validate their impact on traits of value. In today's risk averse investment environment, this critical step will greatly facilitate subsequent commercial investment.
Automated Field Phenotyping Laboratory
Our superior research farms give us the opportunity to be the world leader in the new area of automated field phenotyping. Investment in this new technology will provide billions of field measurements for detailed assessment of important traits such as canopy development, leaf area index, height, photosynthetic ability, etc., that are important for both research and commercialization.
Plant Commercialization Incubator Facility
In order to utilize intellectual property developed at Purdue, field trials/testing are critical for licensing and commercialization in the plant sciences. This facility will enhance the value of IP and will make Purdue the "go-to" place for industry partners looking for new innovations and investment opportunities.
Unique Opportunity for Students
The plant science research and education pipeline will allow students to build technological and analytical skills, as well as entrepreneurship, leadership and teamwork skills. Investment in teaching laboratories that are equipped for "omics" and synthetic biology will enable students to gain experience with cutting edge molecular tools and will build on Purdue leadership in iGEM (International Genetically Engineered Machines).

Comments about COLEMAN 1/2-Gallon Jug:
It does what you would expect, as in it holds liquid, and keeps it Cold/Warm, but it fails in one regard; the spout does not seal when closed.
as long as the bottle stays in the upright position, everything is hunky dory, but if it ends up on its side, expect a puddle.
I found this out the hard way. the backseat of my car was turned into an Iced Tea pond, and that's gotta be good for the leather.
Tightening is not the issue, as it leaks from the spout, when it's in the closed position.
I returned it, and tried 3 others, with the same results.
For the price, it's a good buy, as long as you keep it in the locked and upright position.
